I'm an amateur at pc building and wondering what would be a good build for handling good quality editing programs. And also able to handle gaming at a decent standard, I'm not looking for top quality gaming. My price range is from £1000-£1500 or around $1600-$2400.

Edit: Looking for build that supports dual monitors and the editing I'm working with is video editing

Would you like the monitor(s) in the price? OS? Mouse/Keyboard?

The build SHOULD support dual monitors as the GPU has some dual-link DVI ports and an HDMI, if I'm not mistaken. Even if I am, the dual-link DVI should cover you.
